have used Allcock's POrus Plasters for
the past 10 wears with marked results. l have
found them especially effective when depleted
and worn out from works of incessant labors
in political campaigns; the application of
them to my chest and spine gave me great re.
lief when my voice had become hoarss and
worn down from speaking in the open air
They seem to act as tonic to the whole sys-

over-exertion and restoring the tone Of the
system more readily than any remedy l have
ever found. have also used them for rheu-
matism with very beneficial results.

With this issue the EXPoSITOR is
presented to its readers in an enlarged

contemplating this change for the past
year but advertising patronage has
never warranted the enlarging of the
paper until the present time. Six
years ago we commenced the publica-
ton of the EXPOsITOR here. q six

Six months later we enlarged it to a
seven-column folio and have continued
its publication in that form until the
present issue, We have no reason ia
regret ever having located In Brock
way Centre. Since locating here, we
have seen the village more than double
in population, and the business extend
ed proportionately. Our business has
been good. and our subscription list
has steadily increased. OF course with
this before us, we feel that we have
not been altogether useless. and shall
continue to let the EXPOsITOR expose

fed for the universal evidences of
friendship that we receive, and shall
ever striveto be worthy of them.
